Swansea City bid accepted for Birmingham's Nathan Redmond

SWANSEA City have had a bid accepted for Birmingham City’s highly-rated teenage winger Nathan Redmond.

The Swans confirmed today that they have been given permission to discuss personal terms with the England Under-21 international.

Redmond, 19, is a target for “six to eight” Premier League teams according to Birmingham manager Lee Clark, with only two offers accepted so far.

Norwich are the other top-flight club to have their bid accepted for Redmond, who made 42 appearances for the Blues last season and played in all three of England’s matches at this summer’s Under-21 European Championship.
